blood brothers
education
-
in 1945 the education act made grammar schools free but children had to pass the 11+ to be aloud in this mark was high and hard to get for the working class and even if they were able to get in it didnt mean theyd leave with qualifications
class
i think it was a great idea to have a difference between the classes in blood brothers because it explores the differences between the working class and the upper class and the challenges they both faced
poverty
for the first act of blood brothers the johnstone family is very poor mrs johnstone is struggling with finding a job and sammy isnt helping with that either because he's always getting into trouble
politics
at the time blood brothers was set a lot was happening in Liverpool there was a lot of trade and business and that brought a lot more economic growth but the empire started to decline and that left hundreds of houses and families in poverty
culture
we can tell the play is set in Liverpool between the 1950s and the 1980s we can say this because it lines up with the major events happening at the time
unemployment
factory closures and mass unemployment were not uncommon at this time and for some of act 1 mrs johnstone is unemployed and struggling to keep her eight kids and her house
